Fwd: Request: CDS Language in RFP/Contracts

[Michael Schnuerle]

Hello MDS Working Group,

Our Curb Working Group is looking for existing examples of language and scoring in RFPs around the use of CDS and OMF participation/membership, and how data standards like ours are mentioned in permits, tenders, and contracts. 

I thought the existing MDS ecosystem would be a good place to reach out to as well, since MDS use is more mature and widespread globally. We have a lot of examples in online permits already for MDS, and sample guidance, but not as much with RFPs. 

If you have any RFP language you could share online or in a document that mentions MDS, OMF membership, or any data standards, please send an email to me. Thank you!

Thanks,

Michael Schnuerle

Hello Curb Working Group Members,

Seattle (and other cities) are interested in seeing if there are examples of RFP language anyone would be willing to share that includes any mention of CDS in the RFP requirements. 

Seattle is in the early stages of putting together a new mobile payment RFP and understandably are very motivated to include CDS language in the RFP. 

Additionally they wonder how data is stored, communicated (data sent to city servers in CDS format or through ecosystem vendors), how much (if any detail) is included in regards to data and CDS in the RFP language.

If you can share a link or screenshot or file of your RFPs around CDS, the OMF can compile these and share the relevant snippets anonymously for others to see, and create recommended best practice language. 

Please reply to this email directly with your RFP info or questions.

Thanks,

Michael Schnuerle
